Caring for the Camera
Technical Notes
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an
extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or
in any of the following locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• Exposed to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)
• Poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60 %
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera
away again.
C Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the
product will not be affected.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
C Notes on Smear
White or colored streaks of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This is
due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also
cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.
Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot
16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the
sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
